Honestly, if Fitzgerald was on the waiver wire I would not take him. Go to Spotrac and look at his cap hits for the next six or seven years. If we traded Flynn for Fitz, you might as well throw in Sherman and Earl, because we wouldn't have the money to extend them with that kind of contract on the books.
He also declined this year after putting up 1400 yards with the same QBs in 2011. Who's to say that decline isn't real?
AZ could end up releasing Fitz in a couple years. When that happens, I'd give him a reasonable contract. Until then, he's not worth it.

If you're going to try and get fitz from the Cards, it would literally take trading an Earl Thomas or something on those lines Why would anyone trade Fitz for Matt Flynn and Anthony McCoy? Obviously counting on the stupidity of the Cardinals front office...

Not only is Fitz to old he's way to expensive!
Jesus Christ some of you wanting to get rid of Flynn because of money and now suggest getting someone that's MORE money??

Get a grip. Get rid of a back up that's expensive is not the same as bringing someone that would actually pay that's expensive.

Do you realize HOW expensive we're talking for Fitz? 2013: $5 million (+ $10 million option bonus due 3/15), 2014: $12.75 million, 2015: $8 million (+ $8 million roster bonus), 2016: $15 million, 2017-2018: $14.75 million, 2019: Free Agent

If this trade did happen, it would make the off season go by wayyyy to slow. !!!! You need to stop following these people because they obviously no nothing about player values. On top of that, Fitz is the AZ team and his contract which was over 100M, would be hard to fit and would make it impossible to sign some of our own young stars.

New GM is going to want to make a statement on how he does stuff, I would bet he would do it, Fitz for Flynn, and Carpenter and Moffit, or something like that, they ned a QB and an offensive line.

Montana needed Taylor and Clark and Jones to compliment Rice, but point of your statement is correct, you need guys that can seperate and catch the ball.
Most also had a decent rushing attack, James with Manning, Tyler, Craig, Watters in S.F., Warner Faulk, Bradshaw Blier and some Italian guy named Harris, Smith in Dallas, Marino was the only one that really had no rushing attack, and by chance the only one on that list not to win a Superbowl.

We're in LALA land here, but, Fitz would renegotiate to get out.

Why do people still think that Flynn is actually valuable? Maybe he could net us a conditional 5th in a trade or something, but no more........

No way would I improve the Cardinals to the point of making them the next NFC West Powerhouse !
Oh, and on the whole "QBs needing elite WRs to be successful" point.....
Brady hasn't had an elite WR outside of Moss for one year. They've trotted out tons of journeymen in and out of that system and that QB. Brady made Welker elite, not the other way around. Branch was borderline elite when he was in NE, but he came here and showed he was merely above average. Went back to NE with Brady and bang! he's good again.

Its laughable how overrated whatever WR he plays with becomes.
